联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯周四警告说，“堵塞的”电力网络正在拖慢全球向清洁电力的转型，并敦促各国政府和贷款机构在土耳其南部沿海城市安塔利亚举行的COP31气候峰会上加快基础设施扩建。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Thursday that “clogged” electricity networks are stalling the global shift toward clean power, urging governments and lenders to accelerate infrastructure expansion during the COP31 climate summit in the southern Turkish coastal city of Antalya.
古特雷斯在“全球电网加速器”高级别活动上表示：“如果说可再生能源是能源转型的心脏，那么电网就是它的动脉。而今天，这些动脉已经堵塞。”他指出，约有3000吉瓦的成熟可再生能源和电池项目仍在等待接入电网。
“If renewables are the heart of the energy transition, grids are its arteries. And today, those arteries are clogged,” Guterres told a high-level event on the Global Grids Accelerator, noting that around 3,000 gigawatts of advanced renewable and battery projects remain stuck awaiting connections.
他说，如今每向化石燃料投资1美元，清洁能源就能吸引2美元投资，但修建一条输电线路最多需要15年，而建设一座太阳能电站只需一年。
While clean energy now attracts $2 for every $1 invested in fossil fuels, building a transmission line can take up to 15 years, compared with one year for a solar farm, he said.
古特雷斯强调，要实现电气化目标，到2040年需要新建或升级超过8000万公里（5000万英里）的电力线路，使系统“更智能、更有韧性”，并“跨境互联”以增强能源安全、降低成本。
Guterres stressed that meeting electrification goals requires building or upgrading more than 80 million kilometers (50 million miles) of power lines by 2040, making systems “smarter and more resilient” and “linking them across borders” to strengthen energy security and cut costs.
他说，今年9月启动的“全球电网加速器”正是为此目的，它汇集了联合国机构、各国政府、多边开发银行和私人投资者，共同推动电网现代化。
He said the Global Grids Accelerator, launched in September, serves this purpose by uniting UN agencies, governments, multilateral development banks and private investors to modernize networks.
古特雷斯强调，遥远的地缘政治冲突会让依赖化石燃料的经济体家庭能源账单飙升，而可再生能源在几乎所有地方都已成为新增电力的“最便宜、最快捷、最安全”来源。
Guterres underscored that geopolitical conflicts far away send household energy bills soaring in fossil-fuel-dependent economies, whereas renewables have become the “cheapest, fastest, and most secure” source of new electricity nearly everywhere.
他呼吁各国政府通过长期规划优先发展电网，并敦促金融机构到2030年将全球电网投资增加50%。古特雷斯最后说：“清洁能源转型正在加速。承载它的电网也必须随之加速。”
Calling on governments to prioritize grids through long-term plans and urging financial institutions to increase global grid investment by 50% by 2030, Guterres concluded: “The clean energy transition is accelerating. The grids that carry it must accelerate with it.”
